i'm also runnning coLinux 0.6.1 using the debian distro and (select
version();) "PostgreSQL 7.4.2 on i386-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC
2.95.4" and am having *no* problems with it whatsoever. my psql works
great.

but pg 7.4.2 is not apt-"gettable" (for Woody) did you compile it
yourself?  i got pg 7.4 from the unofficial apt-get repository at
http://backports.org and as i said, no problems so far ...and i've been
stressing it extensively for the last several days.

hth,
